And so became yourselves a confirmation of my testimony to the Christ.

and of Him ye -- ye are in Christ Jesus, who became to us from God wisdom, righteousness also, and sanctification, and redemption,

for I think that God did set forth us the apostles last -- as appointed to death, because a spectacle we became to the world, and messengers, and men;

being slandered, we entreat. We became as trash of the world, an offscouring of all things, until now.

For even if you were to have ten thousand teachers [to guide you] in Christ, yet you would not have many fathers [who led you to Christ and assumed responsibility for you], for I became your father in Christ Jesus through the good news [of salvation].

Such some of you used to be; but you washed yourselves clean. You became Christ's People! you were pronounced righteous through the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the Spirit of our God!

Whatever condition God has allotted to any man, let him go on in the same state he was in when he became a christian: this I give as a standing rule to all churches.

If you were a servant when you became a Christian, let it not be a grief to you; but if you have a chance to become free, make use of it.

For he who was a servant when he became a Christian is the Lord's free man; and he who was free when he became a Christian is the Lord's servant.

And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;

To those who are without (outside) the Law, [I became] as one without the Law, though [I am] not without the law of God, but under the law of Christ, so that I might win those who are without law.

To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.

and those things became types of us, for our not passionately desiring evil things, as also these did desire.

Do not become idolaters, as some of them became. Scripture says-'The people sat down to eat and drink, and stood up to dance.'

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

And by means of which you are being saved. I would remind you of the very words that I used in telling it to you, since you are still holding fast to it, and since it was not in vain that you became believers in Christ.

And now, Christ hath risen out of the dead -- the first-fruits of those sleeping he became,

So also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
